This week has been good. I feel like we have a lot of pretty
positive people right now. We are teaching the mom, brother, and husband of a
recent convert S. The mom isn´t that receptive but is really sweet and really
likes us so we never have trouble teaching them. Her brother always has really
good questions and seriously understands everything which is great. The only
problem with him is that he works Saturday night grave shifts and so coming to
church is a problem but he is really positive and always participates in the
lessons. The husband of the recent convert, M, is starting to open up to us
more. We had a tour of the church and we could tell he felt the spirit but he
still doesn´t want to change. We also had a family night with the whole family
that went really well and everyone liked it and enjoyed themselves.
We are teaching A and M still and they are amazing! We just have
to get them to church! They always read and pray and we taught the word of
wisdom and they said they would stop drinking tea and coffee. They are really
great but some problem always comes up so they can´t come to church..stinking
satan.
We knocked on a
random door one day and the lady was really nice and said hermanas come in! Her
name is G and it turns out she is an inactive member. She was praying for help
and then we knocked on the door :) that was an awesome experience! She didn´t come to
church on Sunday though.
We taught M last night. He opened up to us a ton. We´ve been
having problems getting to teach him because he has a new job now but we are
going to teach him tonight too. He has changed a lot and hasn´t been drinking
at all! He just needs to wake up on Sundays and come to church!
This week we also went and taught a less active member whose son
left on his mission today. She is awesome and knows it´s all true and has a testimony
but just isn´t coming to church! UGH that is the hardest part for me; when
someone has a testimony of the gospel and just doesn´t do their part. It was
even her son´s last Sunday here and she didn´t come. I just don´t understand it
sometimes.
Well we had to drop Os. He wasn´t listening to us for the
message of the gospel. Just to have friends. He told us that he didn´t want to
stop drinking coffee and that he didn´t read his Book of Mormon because he had
other books to read. Then during a lesson he asked if I would ever come
back and marry someone from Guatemala...yeah that was the end of that.
Yesterday as you know we had our zone conference and it was
AMAZING. I have no doubt that I have the best mission president in the whole
world. We have new goals.....THEY ARE CRAZY HUGE but we´re going to do it
because we have the best mission president. haha we have to contact 35 people every
day, have 27 lessons every week, and 12 new investigators. In November we have
to baptize 50 families and in January our goal is to baptize 150 people. This
morning in my personal study I read in the bible part of a scripture that says
fear not for the battle is not yours but Gods. It’s amazing how much we can do
when we have God on our side and I am so grateful to be a part of this gospel.
There is nothing better than being an instrument in the hands of the
Lord.
Jessica
said its starting to get cold there...here too but not really haha. Have you
guys gotten new carpet yet (that´s my subtle way of asking if Lady is still
alive)
(When she found
out that we had to put down our dog, Lady) awww
it´s ok I´ll see her in heaven...if she repented for biting lots of people haha
Also can you send me family
updates of everyone soon? Has Brooke had her baby?
So how many are
there in your District? 6; 4 elders and us
How many are in your Zone? like 20
When are they
going to make you a trainer? we don´t have any new sisters
entering basically so he doesn´t have a need for trainers or senior companions
right now but yesterday he told me that I am in the group of hermanas that he
wants to subir for lack of a better word..He just can´t right now because we
don´t have enough hermanas
How do you feel
about your Spanish? muy bien gracias..hay algunas cosas
que necesito mejorar pero he dado cuenta que mi espaƱol es mejor que muchas de
las hermanas aqui.
Next
week will be crazy too because we are have a meeting for the sisters so we will
either write on Monday at 12 or Wednesday at 11 or 12 I think. Or maybe Tuesday.. I
have no idea! Sorry :(
LOVE YOU MOMMA!! HAVE· A
GREAT DAY AND WEEK!
